Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth

Chapter 860: Chapter 831 No Choice

Throughout January, Wang Ye was tirelessly traveling.

From Rostov to Volgograd, from Samara to Kazan, from Yekaterinburg to Chelyabinsk...

He journeyed all the way to the most remote Chukotka, and incidentally conducted several campaign lectures in his constituency, strengthening ties with the voters.

In a single month, he visited fifty to sixty cities!

This was when the benefits of having a private jet became apparent.

Ready to depart at any time, he could even visit two cities in one day!

Without a private jet, the time he invested would have had to double.

During this period, accompanying him through his whirlwind travels were assistants like Yelena, Nova, and several others, while Rossiyana had to hold down the fort in Moscow, keeping control of the overall situation at all times.

Fortunately, Wang Ye now had a number of helpers under his command, and the entire itinerary went smoothly without any slip-ups.

...

Since Wang Ye and Rossiyana got engaged, his relationship with Nova seemed to have become more distant.

She didn’t confront him face to face to ask why he betrayed her sister.

But obviously, she was quite dissatisfied with the choice Wang Ye had made.

Therefore, when facing Wang Ye, she behaved strictly professionally, not wanting to exchange an extra word with him.

The girl who used to be all smiles was now turning into an "ice queen."

Wang Ye felt helpless too; he couldn’t share his troubles with Nova, nor could he tell Angelina about the matter to have her persuade Nova because he simply couldn’t bring himself to talk about it.

This time, as he campaigned for faction members and was accompanied by a few assistants, Wang Ye finally took the opportunity to mend his relationship with Nova a bit.

Perhaps enough time had passed for Nova’s emotions to ease, and although she still hadn’t completely forgiven Wang Ye, she did show him a few smiles...

At the end of the month, still in Chukotka, Wang Ye met with A Bu, who had just rushed back from London.

It was in A Bu’s residence where Wang Ye saw A Bu for the first time in a while.

For the past six months, ever since the club acquisition succeeded, A Bu had spent most of his time in London, rarely returning to his country.

The last time he returned was probably for Wang Ye and Rossiyana’s engagement.

However, he stayed in Moscow for only two days before returning to London without ever stopping by Chukotka.

He had come back specially this time upon hearing that Wang Ye was in Chukotka.

Upon their meeting, A Bu gave Wang Ye a big hug.

"Haha, Misha, we didn’t get a chance to talk properly at your engagement party because there were too many people. You should have wrapped up your business by now, right? You can stay here for a couple of days. Although I live in London, I’ve heard quite a bit about you," said A Bu, his ruddy face beaming with a smile.

As Wang Ye sat down, he casually asked, "News about me? Why would the media in London be interested in what I’m doing?"

It was true, while he was quite famous, it was only really in Russia, maybe also in the surrounding countries like Ukraine and Belarus, but people in Europe and the United States probably wouldn’t care about a Russian Deputy Speaker.

He wasn’t the president after all...

A Bu also took a seat and laughed heartily, "Ha, aren’t you the owner of Arsenal Club? Have you paid any attention to that club recently?"

Wang Ye was startled for a moment. He had been overwhelming busy lately, with one major event following another, with no time to spare for a football club he invested in on a whim.

The business on that side had been handed over to Kaja. For any matters, he would communicate directly with Kaja.

Wang Ye did hear from Kaja a couple of times that the club was performing well.

That was quite normal, considering Wang Ye had invested so much money, brought so many superstars to the club, and considering Arsenal’s already strong foundations, plus an excellent head coach, it would be surprising if they didn’t perform well.

Even without Wang Ye’s involvement, the 03/04 season’s Arsenal were a formidable force in the Premier League!

Now with such a significant increase in strength, naturally, they were doing very well.

He just shook his head and smiled, explaining, "I haven’t really been paying attention, but they should be doing quite well."

Hearing Wang Ye say this, A Bu shook his head with a wry smile, "It’s odd, we both invested roughly the same amount in our clubs, and I even devoted more energy. I go to almost every home game to support the team. And you, since your acquisition, haven’t even shown your face there. Meanwhile, our club is stuck in the middle of the Premier League, while your club’s performance... is nothing short of astonishing!"

Wang Ye arched an eyebrow, asking curiously, "Arsenal’s performance is very good?"

"Good? They’ve won sixteen consecutive matches, breaking the Premier League record!"

A Bu spoke with "gritting teeth," his tone full of envy and resentment...

Every time he thought about it, it frustrated him; in terms of spending, he hadn’t spent a dime less than Wang Ye. They were both throwing hundreds of millions of US dollars into their clubs.

Wang Ye did indeed sign a few superstars for Arsenal Club, which had a large drawing power, something that Chelsea indeed couldn’t match.

But A Bu had also brought a bunch of stars to Chelsea!

Importantly, as an owner, he supported his team at every home game, cheering them on.

Wang Ye hadn’t shown up even once in half a year, clearly not taking the club too seriously...

Yet halfway through the season, Arsenal achieved over a dozen consecutive victories, breaking the Premier League record for consecutive wins, and ranked first in the league, a good dozen points ahead of the second place!
